TRANSCRIPT
Choose Life CommitteeNew Chair
My name is Betty Anne Hodges and I am chairing St. Clare’s Choose Life Committee.
The mission of St. Clare’s Choose Life Committee is as follows: to protect, defend, and support the right to life of every human being from the beginning of life to natural death. We work to promote re-spect for every human being, born or unborn, persons with dis-abilities, and the elderly. Wehope to achieve this mission through support of local organi-zations such as Gianna House, Pregnancy Aid, Imago Dei Crisis Pregnancy Center, national or-ganizations such as Right to Life, and international agencies such as Unbound. We work to edu-cate on topics such as abortion, euthanasia, assisted suicide, and the death penalty by hosting guest speakers, providing educa-tional materials and keeping up to date on legislation which will advance the protection of hu-man life.
To fulfill this mission the following events are scheduled:
• Weekends of September 21/ 22, October 19/20: Petition drive to ban partial birth abortion. Michigan’s Constitution allows the people of Michigan to initiate legislation through a petition. The goal of this legislation is to amend our partial-birth abor-tion ban by adding the banning of dismember-ment abortion procedures. The advantage of
this approach is that the bill’s language cannot be changed by the legislature and cannot be vetoed by the governor. For more information visit: https://michi anvalueslife.org
• Weekend of September 14/15: Baby Bottle Coin Drive for Pregnancy Aid. Please take home a baby bottle located at the exits of church, fill with spare change and/or a check made out to Pregnancy Aid and bring back by the weekend
of October 5/6. Pregnancy Aid is a local organization (just up Mack) that provides support, counseling, and care for preg-nant women and new mothers. The money collected will help them with general operations. For more information on Pregnancy Aid v is it :
• Sunday, October 6, 2-3:30PM: Life Chain on Mack. This event is a visible statement to the sur-rounding community that St Clare supports and promotes life. Please dress for the weather and wear comfortable shoes. Fellow-ship will follow in the social hall. If you have signs from last year, please bring them. For more in-formation please visit: http:// www.nationallifechain.org
In closing, a group is only as strong and productive as its members. I am looking for a core group to help me with our mis-sion. Communication will be
done via email and most time commitments will be before and/or after the Mass you regularly attend. Periodically, there will be additional events (such as the Life Chain) that need additional support. Feel free to email me or call for more information: [email protected] or 313-268-6219.

Our Parish Community
I hope you had a blessed weekSchool is in full swing! Our Religious Ed. and RCIA
programs began last week, and our Thursday
Faith Formation gatherings will resume soon. I
even saw a few snowflakes on Monday! Ok, just
kidding, but before you know it… that is how
quickly time passes.
The work of our Parish Visioning Team (PVT) has
concluded. The AOD has approved our plan and now we will
move to the next phase of implementation with more information
to follow.
Last week we buried a member of our St. Clare family, Susan Curt-
singer Kuhl. Susan had been the Religious Education Secretary for
the past few years. She enjoyed the opportunity this created to
share her faith, especially with the children. Susan’s brother Mi-
chael is also a member of our facilities management team. We
extend our heartfelt sympathies and prayers to Michael and to
Susan’s husband Larry and son Billy. Please keep them in your
prayers.

24th Sunday in Ordinary Time Page 4 September 15, 2019
Faith Formation
Today is. the Feast of Our
Sorrowful Mother. As she
is the Patron of our
Servite Community,
allow me to share her
sorrows:
1. Prophecy of Simeon (a sword of
sorrow will pierce your heart.)
2. Flight into Egypt (they had to flee for
their lives and travel to a foreign
country)
3. Loss of Jesus for 3 days (Jesus was
preaching in the temple while Mary
and Joseph were in a caravan
traveling back to their home,
unaware that Jesus was not with
them.)
4. Mary meets Jesus on the road to
Calvary (Imagine meeting your son
or daughter covered in blood and
bruises)
5. Mary stands at the foot of the cross.
(look at our mural in church)
6. Mary takes into her arms the dead
body of Jesus. (the REAL pieta)
7. Mary assists at the dead body of
Jesus. (imagine her tears.)
I know there were many more sorrows that
Mary had, this highlights only seven. There
were many joys in Mary’s life as well. We
cannot forget those. Each of us at some
point in our life takes on the role of Mary in
her sorrows and in her joys. Be grateful for
the gift Mary is to us, her children.
Children’s Religious Education: Sunday
family continues this morning and Monday
classes tomorrow. If your child was not in
attendance last week, please assist them to
get registered and attend this week.
On Monday, September 30, there will be a
parent meeting at 6:30 in the social hall.
One parent from each family should be in
attendance.
Little Lambs: Our famous little group will
meet this morning at the 9:00 Mass. Parents,
you will be receiving a type of registration
so we can have your information in case we need to contact you
outside of Mass time. We are still looking for helpers for this group or
more helpers to begin a group for those 8-12. Anyone out there
interested? We may need some adults who have taken the
Protecting God’s Children class to assist.
Anyone wishing to assist (and we need you) must have the Called
to Serve workshop (for high schoolers) or Protecting God’s Children
(for 18 and above) You must register on line. Go to the aod.org site
to register. There are papers on the tables in church with possible
sites for you to attend. If you need assistance, please see Sr. Kathy.
Adult Faith Formation: Don't look now but Thursday Night Adult Faith
Formation is right around the corner! This year’s program has been
revamped to include 5 special evenings featuring live speakers,
free catered dinners courtesy of Edibles Rex, and free PGC-certified
babysitting. Also, in store are 17 Thursday evenings with all new
video presentations and the popular small group discussions. Praise
& Worship will once again be led by Mark (Guitar) Fikany.

Plan to join us for the

tember 28, 2019 at Belle
Isle. This easy 3 mile
walk builds fellowship
among Vincentians
and friends as well as supports the work of SVdP in the communi-
ty. There is no cost to actually participate in the walk, (other than
the state park fee to drive onto Belle Isle) but St. Clare walkers,
friends and supporters are invited to make a financial contribu-
tion of ANY amount which will go directly to our conference
treasury for the work we do within the St. Clare and former St.
Philomena boundaries.

Christian Service CornerBE BOLD BE HOLY BE CATHOLIC
The Christian Service Commission held its first meeting for the 2019-
2020 schedule. Though we usually meet on Monday evenings, we
gathered for the First Tuesday Mass at 6:30 p.m. Fr. Andrew gave
our commission a special blessing and thanked Bill Harrington for his
many years of dedicated service as the chairperson of Christian
Service. Though the torch was passed, we will keep Bill on speed
dial to ask him to lend a hand on some of our upcoming projects.
We will be holding a Mercy in Action event at St. Clare on Saturday,
October 26, 2019. Catholic Charities of Southeast Michigan in
collaboration with Christian Service coordinators and volunteers
throughout the Archdiocese of Detroit are serving parish
communities by performing corporal and spiritual works of mercy.
We will spend a half day of service here at St. Clare. More specific
details will follow but for now, mark your calendar if you are
interested in volunteering. Please email me at
[email protected] if you have questions.
At the end of November, we will once again be decorating the
Giving Trees and collecting gifts and gift cards for the various
recipients of the kind generosity of our St. Clare family. We will also
plan to visit the St. Joseph Manor during Advent to share some
Christmas cheer with the residents and staff.
Plan to join us for a weekend of fun for Oktoberfest on October 18-
20. We will play Bingo on Friday night, enjoy delicious food and
great music on Saturday and cheer on the Lions on Sunday. We will
conclude this FUNdraiser with Mass under the tent on Sunday
evening. This is a great event for all families and friends of St. Clare.
Hope to see you there.

Barbara Koster, St. Vincent de Paul Confer-
ence President, accepts a Discount Tire
Gift Certificate for a set of tires from Parish-
ioner, Tom DeCorte.
Tom won the prize at the recent Detroit
Sports Media Charity Golf Scramble and
since he did not need tires, thought that St.
Vincent de Paul could use of them for
someone in need.
Thank you Tom.

Catholic Service AppealCatechetical Sunday
This Sunday is Catechetical Sunday, a day the U.S. bishops have
set aside to affirm the ministry of the men, women, and young
adults who teach our faith in parishes and Catholic schools.
For 2019, the Archdiocese has set a special theme as part of the
next phase of Unleash the Gospel: Sent on Mission.
“Encountering the Risen Christ” reminds pastors, staff members,
catechists, Catholic school teachers, and all of us in this commu-
nity of faith of our roles, through Baptism, in passing on the faith
to children and adults.
Your CSA gifts allow the Department of Evangelization, Catech-
esis and Schools to support religious education directors and
their staffs through consultation concerning policy, curriculum
guidelines, and text selection, as well as professional growth and
formation opportunities and certification.
For more information about CSA-funded ministries, programs,
and services, go to aod.org.
A Program to Help Couples Heal and Renew their Marriages.
Do you feel lost, alone or bored in your marriage? Are you frustrat-
ed, hurt or angry with your spouse? Are you constantly fighting?
Or, do you simply shut down? Have you thought about separation
or divorce? Does talking about it make it worse?
RETROUVAILLE CAN HELP!! (We've had a 76% success rate)
The Retrouvaille Program consists of a weekend experience com-
bined with a series of twelve follow up (or Post) sessions over the
course of six weeks. It provides the tools to help put your marriage
in order again. The main emphasis of the program is on communi-
cation in marriage between husband and wife. It will give you the
opportunity to rediscover each other and examine your lives to-
gether in a new and positive way.
Five years after the Retrouvaille weekend we surveyed attendees
and 76% of respondents were still married! There is an alternative
to divorce! This quite possibly could be the best gift you ever give
yourself, your spouse, your children, your family and your friends!!
*Please pass this information on to anyone who you suspect might
be a hurting couple
The next Retrouvaille program will begin
